Paper Summary:
This paper analyzes the philosophical work of Soren Kierkegaard called Fear and Trembling. It is an analysis of stories in the Bible on a personal understanding basis. The main focus of the work is on Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac.From the paper:
"Soren Kierkegaard calls his philosophical treatise Fear and Trembling ?a dialectical lyric.? The author first retells and then reflects upon the story of Abraham?s thwarted sacrifice of his son Isaac. He retells, then reinterprets the tale to offer the reader his definition of faith and ?the moment of infinite resignation,? a concept that is both integral to his conception of faith yet utterly separate in its nature, he asserts, from faith."
